Something significant is forming in construction and real estate. A major programme of work is coming to market - and we're building the legal team behind it. SJP (recently ranked in Chambers & Partners) is working with a leading organisation across the real estate and development sector on what is expected to be a substantial, long-term interim programme requiring multiple lawyers across a range of disciplines.
Who We're Looking For
We want to hear from lawyers with experience in any of the following:
- Non-contentious construction & JCT contracts
- Development and licence agreements
- Building safety, remediation and fire safety
- Real estate development and planning support
- Infrastructure and regeneration
- Construction risk and contract management
- Legal process improvement and contract standardisation
- External counsel management
5+ years' PQE is the broad benchmark, but background matters more than a number. We're keen to speak with lawyers from law firms, developers, contractors, consultancies and in-house teams alike - if the experience is relevant, we want to hear from you.
Timing
Particular interest to lawyers who are:
- Immediately available
- Coming to the end of a current assignment
- Between roles or exploring the market
- Able to start within the next 1-2 months
Why Work With SJP?
- We specialise exclusively in legal. That means better access, better insight, and a team that actually understands the work you do.
- Mandates that never reach the open market
- Honest advice on rates, demand and market conditions
- Long-term assignments with real scope and autonomy
- A team that advocates for you - not just at the start
- A relationship built around your career, not just the next role
